The yay: apparently, I still make a good lay liturgist \o/ (Speaking clearly and not-too-fast are such drastic concepts.)

The not so yay: Have migraine. Send help, pref. in form of snugglekitties.

ETA: Having spent the last three hours hiding from the migraine demon lying down in the dark, with a thingamabob over my eyes because the ambient light was too much, and a blanket over the rest of me because even fully dressed I was so cold I was shivering, I am now something reasonably approaching human. \o/

Migraines, for the record, suck.

Loom knitting

For those curious, here are some pictures of the sock loom in action, with the late lamented partial sock in action.

( pics! )

... The loom, by the way, is now empty. This is because of the thing where the instructions for ssk and k2tog were backwards and the pattern is therefore b0rked, and so I had to frog the whole damn thing. (Technically, the ribbing was fine; but there was no way I could frog back to the ribbing and get all of the stitches back on the pegs without major disaster, and fixing dropped stitches is practically impossible for me on the loom, so it was easier to just frog everything and re-do the inch of ribbing.)

(...plus, that allows me to doctor up a proper stitch count marker thingie. The current system, red twist-ties every eight stitches [for a 16-stitch lace pattern], functions but is less than ideal. Also doesn't have opportunities for shiny beads!)
